Owner of famous Northland fish shop says he's living the Kiwi dream

February 11, 2019

Lee Graham has owned the Mangonui Fish Shop for the past 10 years, and he says he’s loved every minute.

Tucked away in a small harbour in the Far North is one very famous fish shop. And its owner says manning the fryer has been a dream job.

Lee Graham and his wife, both chefs by trade, have been in charge of the Mangonui fish shop for the past 10 years.

They were on a tiki tour travelling the world and cooking, but one day they saw an opportunity they couldn't resist.

“We were looking for a business to buy and we thought the Mangonui fish shop would be the right place for us, so we thought we would give it a crack,” Mr Graham told TVNZ1's Seven Sharp.

They inherited a shop steeped in history and a very loyal following.
